Tumblr media
Your tender lovers who treat you like a delicate flower petal
Seungcheol, Joshua, Minghao, Mingyu
Just when you thought your boyfriend could not get any sweeter and more attentive to all your needs, he proves you wrong. You’ve just been working so hard. It does not help that you are a perfectionist. He sees you studying anywhere between 8 and 16 hours a day. His heart aches at what all the stress and studying is doing to you. You look worn out, you get headaches easily, you haven’t been sleeping well. When he sees that, he needs to take care of you. It’s obvious that without him, you’ll wither away like a wilting flower. So, at times like these, and especially at times like these, he babies you even more than normal. 
Sadly because of work, he cannot be with you all the time even if he wants to. So, he does the next best thing. He checks in on you frequently (and passes you his credit card, telling you to order whatever you want to eat). More often than not, he texts you so he isn’t that big of a distraction. But when it’s near mealtimes or when it’s getting late at night, he calls or facetimes you instead. From the little inspiring notes that he sends, to the selfies or short videos of himself, that’s his way of reminding you that you should be taking frequent breaks, and that he will always be there for you. 
Of course, he does try to make himself more available for you. Regardless of how busy he is, whatever you need, he’s at your beck and call 24/7. He will drop everything he is doing if you need him. There have been several occasions when you were on the verge of a breakdown due to stress, and he’s shown up within the hour of you calling him every single time. He brings food, sweets, drinks, and more importantly, himself. He’s always ready to swoop in and scoop you into his arms. You can cry on him. You can fall asleep on him. The point is. You can lean on him. 
You’re his princess and he wants nothing more than to make sure you know things will get better after this difficult exam period. He doesn’t expect you to feel good all the time, nor does he want you to put on a brave face. It’s normal to feel stressed, but you’re strong. You can get through this and you will come out on the top of your class. There’s no need to put so much pressure on yourself. Even if you don’t feel confident, just know that he believes in you. He will be there for you, he will love you, regardless of what grade you get. If watching you study has told him anything, it’s that you’ve done your absolute best, and you should be proud of yourself. He knows he is. 
You hype boys who are like the annoying pop up that never goes away 
Junhui, Soonyoung, Dokyeom, Seungkwan
He’s more observant than you think. He sees the immense amount of pressure that you’re putting on yourself. For a while now, you’ve only been studying everyday. He sees you pushing aside activities you used to love to enjoy doing. It saddens him to know that you’ve been sacrificing your enjoyment and relaxation for studying. He sees the way it’s crushing you, and your spirit. Fortunately for you, he gets it. The way you are acting now, it’s the same way he acts when he’s preparing for a comeback. So, he makes a promise (more to himself than to you) that he will do whatever it takes to try and alleviate the stress that you feel. Even if it’s just for a bit, that’s what he intends to do. 
He makes himself completely available for you to cater to all your needs. Regardless of how small or absurd your requests are, he’s going to be there to fulfill it. You want food? He can’t cook so he’s ordering it right now. You have a stiff neck and want a backrub? He’s already putting on the fragrant oils on his hands to give you a massage. You have dry eyes? He has eye drops ready. You want cuddles and kisses? His arms are ready to squish you and his lips are already puckered. You need a footrest? Yea, he’s already on his hands and knees. 
Okay, but seriously, he’s taken some time off work so he can be near you, and you bet he’s going to fuss over you. He doesn’t exactly leave you alone when you’re studying. He’s constantly in and out of your study room. He’s bringing you drinks and snacks, or just peeking in to check on you. It’s his way of making sure you are not overstraining yourself. He knows that if he just leaves you, you’ll probably never eat and never move from your position. Plus, he knows you well enough to know when you’re maxed out. The way you start rubbing your eyes more, squinting, rubbing your temples. That’s when he pulls you away (sometimes forcefully) from studying. He forces you to sleep or eat. Sometimes, he even drags you out for a walk or makes you watch television with him. 
With him being around all the time and often breaking your concentration, you do get frustrated and angry. You’re already irritable and there are times when you feel like him being around isn’t helping. Yes, he will admit, he feels hurt at that. But he has your best interests at heart. Because he’s so similar to you, he knows that when you are well rested, well fed, and have had sufficient sleep, that’s when you are the most productive. For that reason, he endures your frustrated outbursts, handling them with love and patience, just as you always have done for him, though he does try to give you a little more space. In the meantime, although he does try to step back a little, he’s going to continue doing what he’s been doing. Your wellbeing is at stake, and that is something that he will never ever compromise on. 
Your anchors who are like the invisible set of hands around your house 
Jeonghan, Wonwoo, Jihoon, Vernon, Dino
As much as he feels the need to hover, you have your own study process. He understands, and he respects that. He swallows his worries about you not resting, staying hydrated, or you skipping meals. You’re stressed out enough without having to deal with him nagging at you. So, he takes a step back and lets you have your space. It’s only for this period anyway, you always make sure to rest afterwards. But, he ensures that his presence can always be felt around the house whether he is physically there or not. 
You see, he turns to doing other things for you that he knows will bring you little pockets of joy, comfort, and peace. It’s his acts of service that help to ground you when you are feeling so stressed like your head is about to explode. His actions always make you feel loved and cared for. In a way, it helps to lift that additional burden of having to worry about taking care of yourself during exam season. 
When you emerge from your room, you would see that the old dishes have been washed and put away. There’s a whole new bunch of your favourite snacks in the kitchen, along with a note attached that tells you what time to expect your favourite foods to be delivered. That way, you will be able to eat warm meals at regular times. He has ensured that there is water on the counter and a selection of drinks for you to choose from. Tea, coffee, soft drinks. You name it, it’s laid out there. Like your own little mini buffet snack and beverage corner. He finds it both comforting and reassuring to see how the pile of snacks and drinks have been depleted at the end of the day. It’s his direct, yet indirect way of making sure you’re fed and hydrated. 
He definitely picks up the slack around the house. He goes the extra mile to keep the house tidy, and to buy candles or essential oils with all your favourite fragrances. He will spray it around the house so that the environment smells good, and is warm and cozy. He also leaves his oversized hoodies around for you to wear. You always mention how his scent and the warmth of his hoodies brings you a certain feeling of contentment, comfort, and safety that is indescribable. He’s your safety net afterall. 
And at the end of the day, when you are finally ready for a break, he’s already there on the couch/ bed welcoming you. He envelopes you in his arms, pressing kisses into your hair. It’s his unspoken way of saying, “you did well today, i’m proud of you”. As you sit there, you can rant to him, you can have him give you advice, or you could just cuddle. It’s all up to you, he will always go along with whatever you want. More often than not though, it’s been a long day, and his presence is so soothing that you end up falling asleep on him. The last thing you hear before you succumb to sleep would always be him whispering “i love you”. For this period, he doesn’t mind that you can’t spend that much time together. He’s content with staying in the background and supporting you in whatever ways he can think of. It’s the least he could do because you always do the same for him, and maybe even more.

svt - long distance relationships
Tumblr media
pairing: svt x gn!reader
prompt: different scenarios/reactions dedicated to svt being in a ldr with u :)
warnings: fluff n some slight angst on account of being apart from one another. usage of terms of endearment (baby/baby/honey). food mentions. kind-of implied smut in vernon’s part if that’s how you choose to interpret it (if nothing else it’s just two idiots in love making out). intentional lowercase + no proofreading.
daisy’s notes: it took me 300 years to write again.......
Tumblr media
choi seungcheol
seungcheol was... the whiniest person in the world when it came to the fact that you two were far apart. this wasn’t true all the time--he was still a mature adult who recognized that you couldn’t just up and leave your job and neither could he--as his friends had no idea just how pouty he could be (except for jeonghan, who lived with the guy and overheard plenty of mealtimes where he was talking about buying you a plane ticket himself). but on the nights when it was the worst for him? it was the absolute worst. he’d explained the feeling to you as being “skin hungry” for you to come visit him again and just hold him for a few minutes. maybe even a kiss would give him the strength to wait for when life started working out and one of you could move.
he’d been walking around his apartment when he called you that day, headphones in and listening to you talk about your day while making dinner before he let out the longest sigh.
“everything okay?”
“i want you.”
you looked back at your phone to see seungcheol was straight up pouting again. “well, you’re talking to me--”
“i want you here.” you could see him flop down onto his couch. “i want to hold you.”
“one of those days?”
he frowned at that. “don’t you get them?”
“all the time,” you admitted. you just didn’t go into theatrics over them as much as your pouty boyfriend did--partially because you knew he’d tease you a little over it before legitimately looking up ticket prices. “we’re working on it, honey. you know that.”
another sigh. “i do. i just want to kiss you again.” you looked over to see  him just watching his screen, entranced by you while you cooked. he told you once he liked watching you cook: it made him feel a little closer to you in the domestic sense. “if you come visit me, i’m not letting you leave.”
ah. he was pulling out the fake threats again. the last time he said that, he cried on you the night before you had to leave and almost wouldn’t let you go at the airport before making you promise to call him as soon as you were home. “oh?”
“hurry up and come see me again,” he said. “or i’ll die. do you want me to die? i’ll die if you don’t come see me soon.”
you fought back the urge to laugh. “i’ll try, cheollie.“
(and maybe you’d start looking up tickets after you finished your call with him that night, texting jeonghan to ensure that your arrival would be a surprise when it came.)
yoon jeonghan
jeonghan texted you more than your own family and friends did. almost every morning you woke up to a text asking if you’d eaten yet, reminding you to drink water, saying that he hoped you slept well. of course, the time difference meant that he was sending these to you later in his day--but it was sweet to know that he was always watching the clock and trying to ensure that you were being taken care of. sometimes his texts would be accompanied by selfies he’d taken, whether they were when he was alone or out with his friends, just so you wouldn’t ‘forget his handsome face’ (you told him that there was no way you would, but jeonghan was one to tease).
these texts became more and more common whenever you had plans to visit one another--typically you visiting him purely because it was easier for you to travel than him. which is where you were now: listening to him talk about all the things he wanted to do with you and the places he wanted to go.
“there’s this new cafe that opened a few months ago,” he said, lying on his stomach as he talked to you over video call. “joshua and i went--you’ll like the cheesecake there.”
you continued folding your laundry, nodding along. you’d set your laptop up nearby so you could watch the cute, enamored look on his face. “really?”
“mhm.” he stifled a yawn. “i’m just ready for you to be here. joshua’s excited too. i think he’s tired of hearing me talk about you.”
“i’m sure he’ll be ready for me to leave once i get there,” you teased.
“my friends love you,” he said. “not as much as i do. but they love you.”
you set another shirt into your suitcase. you’d be leaving for your flight in a few hours. “hannie,” you said, looking up. “you can go to sleep.”
“i’m fine--”
“baby. you’re about to pass out.”
he stifled back another yawn, purposefully leaning out of frame. “i’ll sleep when you leave.”
you pouted at the sight of him giving you that stupidly charming smile, “hannie. i love you. please go sleep.”
he sighed before smiling at you. “okay,” he said, shifting and moving the camera so you could still see him. “i love you. i’ll rest extra well for you.”
joshua hong
“i’ve been working on a new song,” joshua said, tuning his guitar. “do you want to hear it?”
you knew that joshua knew the answer would always be a resounding ‘yes’ to that question. music was how the two of you bonded, and it was always fun to hear what he was working on between work and life. he already had takeout ready and waiting while you were waiting for your delivery to get there (apparently the traffic had been bad), so your boyfriend was keeping you entertained while you wait.
(you’d told him that he could go ahead, but he insisted on waiting for you--he liked your mealtime calls because sometimes it felt like you were a little closer to him than you were.)
he strummed the guitar, and you could already see his lips twitch into a smile. “sunday morning, rain is falling--”
he’d always start with that just to hear your laugh, so full of love, before you complained. “you aren’t funny, you know.”
“that’s why you laugh,” he said. he plucked at the strings before reaching out, flattening out the music he’d written. “it’s still a work in progress.”
“i know, joshy,” you smiled. “i wanna hear.”
he began to play, and you just smiled as you listened to him begin to sing. he’d written a love song, and you could only watch the way he lost himself in his music before fumbling with a chord before he stopped.
“i’m still working on it,” he reiterated. “i was thinking about showing it to some of the guys.”
you rested your head in your hands. “i like it. it’s pretty.”
“good,” he said. “it’s about you.”
you mocked surprise. “nooo--the love song my boyfriend wrote about distance meaning nothing is about me?”
he laughed softly, so warm and equally full of love as your own laugh. “i think jun will like it,” he said. “i showed him the last love song i wrote you and he liked it.”
you felt your face grow warmer, about to say something when there was a knock at your door. “food’s here!” you hopped up, calling back to give you a second.
you liked having at least one weekly mealtime between the two of you, if not more. it was another way of showing intimacy while you two were away from each other. not every mealtime call was the two of you (sometimes he had friends who would join in when you insisted to your slightly-possessive boyfriend that it was fine, that the two of you could continue to call by yourselves afterward), but it was always nice to have your boyfriend all to yourself. 
wen junhui
every single time you went to visit jun, you swore that the two of you were falling in love all over again. you’d trudged off your flight, dragging your bag behind you through the airport as you internally cursed how long these flights always were. you’d gotten sleep, so thankfully you weren’t running off of nothing, but did it really matter when you always walked away feeling more tired than before?
but the one thing that would always reinvigorate you was the sight of jun standing in the airport, immediately opening his arms to you. every single time, you’d end up running to him to hug him tight as he squeezed the life out of you--something he always promised was coming. you loved jun’s hugs because of how secure they made you feel.
“get a room,” soonyoung whined from where he was standing nearby when jun started to pepper kisses across your face. “i’m sleepy.”
he looked sleepy. how early did jun wake him up? he’d mentioned that he was getting soonyoung to drive him since he’d be too giddy to drive once he had you back in his arms.
jun said nothing as he captured your lips in a quick kiss, chaste and sweet since the two of you were in public. “i missed you,” he said, completely ignoring soonyoung. “i love you. did you sleep well? you can sleep in the car--”
“i’m fine, honey,” you said, pecking him on the lips. “we should go before soonyoung passes out.”
soonyoung had thanked you in the moment just to tease jun a little further about how much he looked forward to having you there again. the entire time, jun held your hand in the car, quietly whispering to you how much he’d missed you. soonyoung dropped the two of you off at jun’s apartment, and soon enough you were curled up on the couch in jun’s arms with your bag left by the entryway.
“you look tired,” he murmured, pulling you in closer. “you can take a nap. i’ll make lunch for us when you wake up,” he said, already pulling you into his chest.
“i’m not tired,” you whined. “i wanna go out with you.”
“we’ll go out later,” he promised. “i love you. it’s okay if you need to sleep a little,” he traced hearts onto your back. “i can wait a little longer.”
you shut your eyes, face smushed against his chest as you listened to his heartbeat. “i love you, too,” you mumbled, wrapping your arms around him. “don’t let me sleep too long.”
(he would, just to watch your sleeping face a little longer and ensure you napped long enough to feel refreshed. even if it earned him some gentle scolding from you because you wanted to make the most of your time together, jun was simply glad to know that you felt better and that he could finally take care of you again.)
kwon soonyoung
“where is it? did you get rid of it? i can’t see it.” soonyoung kept leaning as if he could get a better look of your bed from where you’d set up your laptop at your desk.
you already knew what he was talking about as you leaned a little more out of the way, letting him get a clear view of the tiger plush he’d bought you a few weeks ago. you’d sent him a picture when it arrived, and another when you curled up with it one night. “he’s still there,” you said. “i would’t get rid of it.”
soonyoung smiled. “bring it over. i have to see it closer so i can charge it with love.”
you rolled your eyes with a smile as you stood up, grabbing the plush before sitting back down. “why do i have to get it?”
“i have to see it!” he pouted, “i have to see it’s eyes.” he gestured to his own, “i’m using my tiger’s gaze.”
soonyoung was hamming it up. you already knew that he knew you were stressed again, and that this was his way of making you smile. and... it was working. you hugged the plush to your chest, watching him as he opened up his meal.
“you don’t have to do that, soonie,” you said. you liked the cute way he’d always glance up with a smile.
he cupped his hand under his chopsticks as he pushed his food toward the camera--a gesture that was familiar to you. “for you.”
you always wanted to tease him with a “i can’t eat that yet,” but you just giggled. “it looks good.”
“wonwoo ordered too much for him and cheol,” he said. “so i stole it,” he beamed. “i’ll give you the first bite when you’re with me.”
you sighed wistfully at the thought. “soonyoung...”
“i know... i’ll do it next week,” he said, “when i come to see you.”
you looked up. “wait--”
he reached off to one side, grabbing a folded piece of paper and holding it up. “surprise?”
you gasped, “soonyoung!”
“i can cancel them! i just wanted to surprise you,” he said, “and your roommate and i worked it out--”
“you’re really coming to see me?” you hugged the plush tighter to your chest, smiling.
he nodded. “i’ll be there soon,” he promised. “and i’ll give you the first bite when we eat together.” he paused, looking up, and you could hear wonwoo’s voice. “oh? ah, yeah, i can come help--” he looked back to you, “i’ll be back in a minute. i love you!”
and you smiled even harder as he got up, hugging your tiger plush closer to your chest. soon it’d be soonyoung in your arms instead, and you couldn’t wait for the moment to arrive.
jeon wonwoo
“hold on, it’s sending...”
wonwoo had been on a video call with you one night--a common occurrence between the two of you. with the time difference between you, you could see the sunshine peeking in through his blinds while you were finally settling in for sleep. most of these calls were usually the result of wonwoo telling you about his morning so far: the morning jog he went on beforehand, the place he stopped in to get breakfast to bring back to his apartment... little things. he’d been telling you about a stray he saw on his way back home and the short video he took while feeding it a treat.
you pulled your blankets closer to you with it twisting around your legs a little more. “i’ll watch after we get off call,” you said.
“i know,” he said. “but you can see the cat on the thumbnail. you said you like orange cats, right?”
you smiled, pulling the plushie that wonwoo had sent you months ago closer to you. “yeah...”
he looked up from his breakfast and then smiled after a moment. you liked the shy smiles wonwoo would give you whenever he saw you cuddling with it, never commenting on it. “i bought you something, too, by the way.”
“wonwoo...” you pouted. “you keep buying things...”
“it reminded me of you,” he said. “you’ll see what it is next time you come here... or the next time i compile enough to send over.”
you had made him promise a while back that he would only send any gifts if there were multiple. gift giving wasn’t really wonwoo’s love language (he always swore he preferred spending time with you more than anything else), but he had told you that everything reminded him of you now. even if he didn’t send things to you, he liked having things around.
(”it makes me feel like you’re here,” he had said. “jihoon asked why i have a jacket that doesn’t fit me here. it’d fit you, though. i’ll send it soon.”)
he had reached into his pocket, pulling out a braided bracelet with a little charm attached to it of your favorite animal. he looked up, noticing the way that your eyelids were beginning to droop. “if you’re tired, i’ll let you go--”
“noooo,” you whined. “i wanna see your cute face.”
“i love you,” he said, “but your health is more important.”
“you never say that when it’s you losing sleep.” you pouted, pulling the plushie closer to you. “wonwoo...”
“i’ll talk to you after you sleep,” he said. “okay? sleep well. dream of me.”
you always would smile so cutely whenever he said it, all because he said it so casually. he’d tell you one day that that smile was the reason why he said it.
if he couldn’t see you in person yet, at least he would leave you smiling when he had to end the call.
lee jihoon
this was... new. new in a good way, but still new. today was the first time that you were coming to see him, and now he was holding your hand, and his heart was racing in his ears.
lee jihoon, for all that he was, was completely in love with you. most people would probably kiss their partners at some point after meeting them for the first time. jihoon wanted to (believe him, he’d been daydreaming about kissing you for weeks after you announced you’d be visiting him in a month), and yet all it took was holding your hand for him to grow even more flustered. he’d daydreamed about holding you in his arms for the first time.
the bad part was that it took him two days to actually initiate any kind of skinship with you. he was holding your hand now, yes, but the past two days were filled with your hand brushing against his and jihoon’s face going red (and seokmin pointing it out the other day when you stepped away to get your drink at the coffeeshop you’d gone to). you knew that this was coming, though. he’d talked to you about it about how he’d want skinship with you, but he’d be a little awkward.
“you’re the first person i’ve really liked,” he had said while on call with you. “i want to, i just need time.”
and you had agreed easily enough to it: you understood him, after all. but the first time you took his hand after asking, he felt his heart race in the absolute best way before slowing back down.
he was with you. that was all that mattered at the end of the day.
lee seokmin
every single day, you received at least a thousand texts from seokmin. probably. you stopped counting months after you two started dating since the number was well over twenty when it came to pictures alone. he’d send you pictures of the sky, or of a dog he saw when he was on a walk, or flowers that reminded him of you, or the cafe he was visiting with his friends...
pretty much every place he went, he sent you a picture of. sometimes he’d send you pictures of himself with his friends, too. the latest was one he took of himself and mingyu while the two were getting dinner, a ‘wish my date was cuter’ tagged onto it. you teased him for insinuating that mingyu wasn’t a cute date and that you wouldn’t mind a date with mingyu.
“but what about me?” he had whined when you picked up the call a minute later.
you hummed, as if you were considering it. “mingyu has money...”
“sunshine,” he dragged out the name. “i have money. i’ll buy you a ticket here right now to prove it--”
you had to stop him because you knew he would if he did have the money. “seokmin... you know i love you.”
“yes?”
“why do you always send me pictures? i love seeing them and knowing what you’re up to,” you said, “but you don’t post all of them to instagram or anything.”
he went quiet for a moment. “it feels like you’re here with me if i show you things,” he said. “so i like sending you pictures until we go on a walk for real. do you want me to stop?”
you had to hide your smile lest the people around you started to judge. “don’t. i like it. you’ll just have to show me all these places in person someday.” 
(and he would, gladly, the moment that you were finally within arm’s reach.)
kim mingyu
“are you sure you don’t want me to buy a ticket? i could do it. i can afford it.”
due to your boyfriend having a roommate to pay for half the rent and a big-city chef job, this offer was always on the table. hell, he’d asked you if you wanted to move in with him before. you shot the offer down since you were only five months into dating (kim mingyu was, in the words of his friend minghao, madly in love with you to the point where it was kind of cringe to see if you were anyone but you or kim mingyu), but you knew it’d always be on the table, too. he kept up jokes that he could move you in any day, though, and all you had to do was say the word.
outside of all of that, you would listen to him as he walked you through whatever recipe he was making for himself (and his roommate) for dinner that night. it was nice to watch him cook. it felt domestic in a small way, and you were pretty sure that was why mingyu liked it, too.
“i went to the museum today,” he had said once. “i’ll have to take you when you come.”
yet the next time you visited him a few months later, you spent the entire time cuddling in his apartment. he just laid out on his couch with you on his chest, arms wrapped securely around you. you’d tease him about all the things he wanted to show you, but he just kept his eyes closed as he held you close.
“i’m recharging,” he said. “i have to cuddle with you while i can.”
“i still wanna go out.”
“five more minutes,” he promised. “and then we can go.”
(sometimes you swore you had the world’s clingiest boyfriend.)
xu minghao
minghao sent you selfies far more than you expected him to. he told you that it was so you could cycle through them for your phone background with a confidence you hadn’t exactly expected from him. he’d asked for more pictures of you so that he could do the same.
(you did just that, actually. you liked having plenty of pictures of his handsome face on your phone.)
so when the two of you visited one another, most of your time was spent going out and doing all the sappy couple-y things that you weren’t able to do. the rest was spent in your apartment with minghao practically clinging to you the entire time. his friends would never believe it (minghao was in the habit of denying being clingy while his love for you was never in doubt) unless they saw pictures.
they never would, unless minghao decided to share them. you kept yours in an album that would never be seen by anyone outside of your relationship. you liked knowing that minghao was yours and the way he acted when the two of you were alone.
that was what brought you to now. minghao had arrived at your apartment not even an hour ago, and he was lying with his face buried in your shoulder as he inhaled the scent of your fabric softener. to everyone else, he’d merely say that he enjoyed cuddling with you. not that he was enjoying the warmth of your body, or the way that the two of you seemed to fit together perfectly, or the fact that he missed kissing your lips because it felt like the two of you were made for each other.
(minghao’s friends always said he was a romantic. you never knew how far that went until the two of you grew serious.)
“i love you,” he murmured against your neck, eyelids shut as he basked in the feeling of your fingers running through his hair. “i don’t want to leave.”
you almost wanted to tell him a quiet ‘then don’t.’ but you chose against it, instead wrapping your arms around him. “i love you, too.” i don’t want you to leave, either.
boo seungkwan
you were pretty confident you knew the exact layout of almost everywhere seungkwan went.
seungkwan facetimed you almost constantly. he always told you that you didn’t have to show your own face every single time, but he liked having you as part of his day. whether he was at his apartment, or at his favorite grocery store, or going for a walk in the city: seungkwan tried to bring you into it as best as he could. as much as you always appreciated his mealtime calls, you liked watching him go about part of his day with his headphones in as the two of you talked.
“soy sauce is in the other cabinet,” you had called out while he was making ramen one night for the two of you. it wasn’t fancy, but he insisted on spending one night in with you while you were visiting. he looked back down, brows raised before opening the correct cabinet. he paused, before pulling down the bottle he was looking for.
“how did you--”
you looked back from the couch. “i told you,” you hopped up, making your way over to him, “i know your apartment really well. like i know the grocery store you always go to,” you wrapped your arms around him before pressing a kiss into his neck.
he grew sheepish. “do i really call you that much?”
you nodded, planting another innocent kiss against his shoulder. “mmhm. it’s okay,” you squeezed him gently, “i like knowing your daily routine.”
seungkwan smiled as you planted another quick kiss against his neck again, especially when he felt the way your lips curled upward. he whined a little, “you’re distracting me. i’m trying to be a good boyfriend and make us dinner.”
“okay,” you started to pull away, only to have seungkwan catch both of your wrists.
“i didn’t say leave,” he said. “just... stay here and stop kissing me when i can’t kiss you.”
(he’d laugh a few minutes later when you pecked him on the neck again, just basking in the sweet parts of being together.)
chwe vernon
despite claiming to paying full attention to the movie, vernon was constantly touching you in a way that said he’d stopped paying attention twenty minutes ago.
it wasn’t sexual in the slightest. he just kept finding little ways to touch you. to pull you closer to him in little ways so that he could bask in the feeling of your skin against his own. whether it was playing with your fingers idly, or slipping his hands underneath your shirt just so he could feel the warm skin at your hips (you had gasped the first time because his hands were like ice and he’d sheepishly apologized), to the arm that he kept draped around your shoulders.
“you’re touchier than usual,” you finally mused aloud.
he looked at you, blinking once, twice, before realizing how clingy he was starting to get. “sorry, i’ll stop--”
“it’s okay,” you said. “just... you’re never this touchy.”
“well,” he started, “it’s almost two in the morning... and your flight is in a couple hours...” he sighed, “so i think i’m just trying to enjoy holding you while i can.”
you leaned forward, kissing him as his hands fell to your hips. “it’s okay,” you said. “let’s just spend the next few hours together, okay?”
“i really don’t want you to go.” he squeezed your hip. “baby--” he paused, unsure of whether to continue speaking. you watched him lick his lips, look off to the side for a moment, and then make up his mind. “seungkwan’s gonna tell you i’m moping tomorrow.”
seungkwan always did. he’d sent you a picture, unbeknownst to your boyfriend, of him just standing in the kitchen and staring at the mug you’d bought him with this upset look.
“and then you’re both going to go out with chan tomorrow night,” you said, “and sing your hearts out at karaoke because both he and seungkwan know how to distract you. i’ll be back before you know it,” you kissed him one more time. “just a little longer, okay? and then we’ll have our little apartment together and we can get a cat.”
“i know. i just love you so much, you know?”
you did. every little thing that he did was proof of that, but you could always tell by the look on his face alone. “c’mon,” you said. “let’s make the most of our time, yeah?” 
he kissed you that time, drawing you in closer as the movie continue on, forgotten by the two of you. “yeah,” he said, about to slant his mouth against your own again, “let’s.”
lee chan
waiting on your boyfriend to make it off his flight was one of the most nerve-wracking experiences for you when it was the first time you two were meeting one another in-person. you’d met chan on an online forum, kept talking, eventually started crushing on one another... and the rest was history (once someone named seungcheol finally pushed him to confess to you, that is). he’d sent you plenty of pictures of every step he took: arriving at the airport with said-person-seungcheol dropping him off because he said that his hyung was a gracious one sometimes (useless any other time, he’d jokingly tell you, but the drive to the airport was still a nice gesture), getting out of security, eating a small meal because he’d stupidly skipped breakfast while too giddy to see you. the moment his flight landed, he’d sent you a picture with a “i’m almost there!!!” and a thousand heart emojis after it to help illustrate just how excited he was.
the moment chan saw you, he nearly dropped his bag before booking it toward you. only to stop steps away from you, suddenly nervous.
“hi.” he said after a moment, and you could see the gears turning in his head.
anxiety took hold faster than you liked. did he... not actually like you now that he was meeting you in person? “hi, channie,” you said, forcing a smile to cover your nerves. “how was your flight--”
“i really want to kiss you right now,” he confessed, face growing more red as he gazed at you. “can... can i hug you?”
you cracked a genuine smile, opening your arms to him. “yes, you--”
before you could say ‘can,’ chan had already stepped forward and drawn you into his arms. he hugged you tight, and you could feel just how toned his arms were as you were squashed against him. you felt yourself getting choked up as it set in just how real all of this was.
chan was here. he was standing with you, he was holding you. you could feel the warmth of his body against your own. he was with you.
and you felt yourself tear up. “channie,” you snaked your arms around him, shutting your eyes. “i’m glad you’re here.” your arms feel like home. is that cheesy to say? is it too soon...?
“i... i had a plan,” he said, “for when i first saw you. i told cheol that i was going to walk up to you and--and say something charming,” you could hear the way his voice was wavering, emotions finally catching up to him before jet-lag ever would. “just to see you laugh. and--and then i was going to tell you i love you, because it’d be in person for the first time and--”
“i love you, too, chan,” you mumbled.
“no, you can’t--” he drew back, roughly rubbing at his eyes with one arm. “you can’t say it yet. i didn’t--i didn’t say it right.” he held you by the shoulders. “i love you,” he said slowly, before cracking into a teary smile as he pulled you back into his arms. “i love you so much,” he laughed lightly, “i wasn’t supposed to cry--”
“it’s okay,” you shut your eyes. you never knew how much another person could feel like home until now. “i love you, too. i’m glad you’re here, chan.”
you could feel him nod. “i’m glad you’re here, too.”

Postcards from Snagglepuss (Minnesota State Fair edition): Hopefully not dealing with "turkeys" here
So how did that old T-shirt saying go, "it's difficult to soar among eagles when you work with turkeys"?
At any rate, anyhow even, still in the Dairy Building, finding me the exhibit of Minnesota Turkey, as in such responsible for promoting Minnesotan turkeys and especially so in a way that just seems to say "it's not just for Thanksgiving anymore." Particularly through the likes of ground turkey, turkey burgers, turkey sausage, turkey lunch meat, turkey luncheon loaf--I assume you get the notion, and then some ... especially when there's a demonstrative kitchen inside said Dairy Building where receipts galore can be had demonstrated (and also available as "take home" cards, for which I pick some up with an eye to maybe trying such ... and it seems a few of the close compadres can be seen "in the house," almost rapt-eyed and curious, in particular Beegle Beagle, the brains behind The Great Grape Ape, and even Sheena and Zelda from The King's crew!).
Sheena in particular was intrigued and fascinated at how the demonstration went, and for a lioness (not to mention sometime girlfriend of The King), finding that ground turkey worked just as well as ground beef was especially intriguing.
"Especially when I'm thinking about fixing some sloppy joes for the crew," was how Sheena explained it.
To which I added, "Even better when a little brown sugar is added."
Sheena couldn't resist chuckling at that advice.
*************
But even more intriguing as a way of promoting turkey's potential at mealtime is a stand close to Steichen's Convenience Store known as "Turkey To Go!", offering turkey sandwiches galore--turkey barbecue, turkey sausage breakfast sandwiches, shredded turkey sandwiches, turkey drumsticks even--something of a favourite with The Goofy Guards "themselves," by names Yippy, Yappy and Yahooey.
"Believe you me, Snagglepuss," as Yahooey, the brash midget of the three explained, "we just cannot resist grilled turkey drumsticks, the 'gnaw-off-the-bone' sort with a sort of crustiness inherent in the grilling."
"So what explains this affectation?" asked I, prompting the portly Yippy to remark "It's just in our nature, you might say ... and I just hope His Majesty isn't mad at us for our tastes!"
"You can say that again!" chimed in Yappy between bites and trying all the while not to get bits of bone caught in so consuming, adding "Yet believe you me, Snagglepuss, who could ask for serious turkey drumsticks like these?"
Leaving me a slight bit perplexed even as the trio manages to attract at least one request for "selfies" over turkey drumsticks. Yet you wonder, though, who still has some love for The Goofy Guards, to begin with? But soft! genteel readers, you've still got more amusing observations to ponder from The Great Minnesota Get-Together over coming days, so stay tuned ...

zamaya 4 the ship questions?
So... this is late af,,, im sorry?
Who said “I love you” first
Zari. When they start their relationship, zari’s kinda the nervous one. shes not good w feelings and shes pretty inexperienced with romance, and in general, shes not particularly the kind of person whod be well equipped to deal with the l-bomb and amaya knows this. so even though amaya has always felt that pull between them, something that even the connection between their totems couldnt fully explain, she doesnt say anything, even though shes loved zari almost as long as shes known her. but as their relationship progresses, zari becomes more confident in herself, in her own ability to process feelings, in her own capability to be an adequate romantic partner, but amaya still... she isnt sure. she knows zari is more confident, understands that shes in a better place, emotionally, than before, but shes still afraid that saying i love you too soon will scare zari away, so she keeps it to herself, even as zari starts working up the courage to tell amaya she loves her. and like, since this is zamaya, i feel zari’ll end up saying i love you over something small but meaningful? like, idk maybe right before they go to sleep, when both of them are like half asleep and then amaya wakes up in the middle of the night like, wait a minute did she jus- and then she shakes zari awake and in the midst of zaris complaints about being woken up, she almost yells i love you too. and zari, still sleeping, is just like, neat. and then she’ll wake up the next morning and fucking kick herself because amaya just told me she loved me and i fucking said neat
Who would have the other’s picture as their phone background
Both. In 2042, taking pictures could be a safety hazard -- if you lost it or if your camera was hacked, someone might be able to use the information in it to target you or the people you care about -- so Zari never really had the opportunity to have a picture of her family as her background or anything. So, when Zari joins the legends, she gets Gideon to help her get some surveillance shots that were taken of her and her brother by ARGUS drones to set as her phone’s background. But after she gets together with Amaya and sort of deals with her issues (thanks to the Bureau issued therapist that Ava recommended they go to), she decides to change the background to a picture she has of Amaya at the very top of a 1960s ferris wheel, bathed by the light of a sunset. And the next week she changes it to a picture of Amaya laughing at something Nate says while they’re all getting ready in the fabrication room. And then she changes it again and again basically once a week because she finds herself taking as many pictures as she can of everyone she cares about -- just in case -- and that means an abundance of pictures of Amaya. 
When she finds out that no-one ever really taught Amaya to chance the background of her phone screen (it wasn’t intentional -- Nate meant to teach her but Constantine challenged him to a naked yoga contest and he had to accept), she takes it upon herself to do so and takes a silly selfie of the two of them on Amaya’s phone and sets it to the background. Amaya doesn’t really change hers. She likes that particular photograph because Zari is smiling widely in it, and she looks so??? happy????
Who leaves notes written in fog on the bathroom mirror
Zari. she wakes up about forty minutes after amaya tries -- and fails -- to wake her up before going for her hour long run/training with sara, and she just goes and gets ready. but she does timing stuff so that she ends up leaving the bathroom around five minutes before amaya gets back, and she leaves messages in the fog bc she knows amaya loves seeing them
Who buys the other cheesy gifts
Zari. Again, this comes down to the fact that zari just didn’t grow up with a lot of material possessions, so its like, she wants to spoil her gf and shower her with presents and stuff.
Who initiated the first kiss
Amaya. Idk what id go with for the first kiss for these two, but like,,, whatever scenario it is, i feel like at the beginning of their relationship zari’s the one whos like “but does she like me?” when amaya is literally asking if she can kiss her (consent is sexy babes) so, amaya sort of ends up initiating the first kiss through zaris gay obliviousness
Who kisses the other awake in the morning
Amaya. Shes the early to rise type, and zaris the fuck that sunshine shit type, and that means that amaya spends about ten minutes every morning trying to wake up zari before she goes on her daily run (which, when they’re on the ship, equates to going to the lab/gym/jail cell room thing (rlly what the fuck iS that room?)) before giving up and leaving for her hour long morning workout with sara. but that “try to wake up zari” routine doeS, in fact, involve copious amounts of kisses. 
Who starts tickle fights
Zari. Amaya isn’t great at most video games, but after Zari starts teaching her, she has these spurts of like,,, extra luck! and stuff like that. so whenever amaya’s winning, zari will drop her controller and start tickling her and amaya will start protesting between laughs that itS!!! UNSPORTSMANLIKE!!!! and zari will kiss her and then the tickle fight will.... no longer be a tickle fight. 
Who asks who if they can join the other in the shower
Amaya… but only sometimes. like, sometimes, she’ll get back from her run/workout a bit earlier than usual, so those times, shell go and knock on the bathroom door and most of those days, zari will complain for an hour about how her hands are now wrinkly and soft and how it makes practicing the violin so!!! much!!! harder!!!!
Who surprises the other in the middle of the day at work with lunch
Amaya. She really likes cooking and baking and stuff, and zaris the kind of person who goes and sits at her computer with like,,, a party size bag of chips and finishes them all off in an hour and wishes she got something more, but is too involved in her work to want to like,,, physically? get up and get them? and amaya knows this so she’ll make something amazingly good and like, stand at the door while zari is working so she can drag her out for lunch bc otherwise zaRI YOULL STARVE 
Who was nervous and shy on the first date
Zari. She’s never really? Done this whole... romance thing. Like has she liked ppl? Yes. Has she ever acted on her crushes? hA HA HA. So she kind of feels lowkey inexperienced compared to amaya, and she tries to hide it, but its clear shes feeling a bit insecure abt everything. 
Who kills/takes out the spiders
AMAYA. Shes an animal goddess so she doesnt even have to take it out. She just sort of says “hey would you mind moving so i can get to the flour?” and its just.... does? meanwhile, zari, a vigilante with avatar powers, whos looked into the face of evil fairy godmothers and lived to tell the tale, is cowering in the background, telling amaya to “gET RID OF IT, BABE, IM BEGGING”
Who loudly proclaims their love when they’re drunk
Zari doesn’t drink, so I guess Amaya, but she doesn’t get drunk very often so. Its mostly just the two of them cuddling and laughing while the rest of the team gets drunk off their asses and starts doing stupid shit. Zari films everyone else tho lmao, and she gets Gideon to play the video of their antics at the highest possible volume while they all file into the galley with hangovers at the next mealtime

Bastein and Sophia fluffy alphabet
Thanks to @drakeandcamilleofvaltoria who used @pixelburied‘s template 
Tumblr media
A – Anger (What was their first fight about? Any big or recurring arguments?)
Bastien can’t stand mess and disorder, and chided Sophia for leaving clothes on the floor after the Beaumont Bash. The sight of her rushing round tidying up with a hangover made him feel bad, and he apologised. Sophia was angry when Adelaide made a pass at him before she realised he was  with Sophia. Bastien was very embarrassed and tried to hide, unsuccessfully.
B – Best (What would they say is the other’s best trait?)
They both have so much to choose from! Sophia loves Bastien’s loyalty and integrity, Bastien loves that she is tougher than she looks, and able to look after herself in a fight. He was impressed when she threw him in the training hall and went on to best Drake and Leo.
C – Camera (How do they document their relationships? Who likes to take pictures? Or videos?)
They exchanged selfies very early on in their relationship. Bastien wasn’t keen on having his photo taken at first, as it compromised certain aspects of his job, but once he stepped down from active duty he was happy for Sophia to take candid snaps of him doing domestic things. They both have x rated photos of each other, for their eyes only…
D – Dates (What are their dates like?)
Bastien always pulls something spectacular out of the bag – a night at a penthouse suite, a visit to a secret grotto, a night at a cabin overlooking the capital, but Sophia is content with being alone with him and remembers a picnic in the orchard at Applewood with fondness.
E – Early (What was the first month of dating like?)
Bastien was in the midst of organising security for the Coronation, so many of their meetings were snatched and short until he invited her to share quarters with him.
F – Friends (How is their relationship with each other’s group of friends?)
Bastien had workmates and acquaintances, not friends until he met his goddess. Sophia endeared herself to people he already knew but was not close to, and he has yet to meet anyone from her life before coming to work at the Palace. So essentially they share friends.
G – Gifts (Do they like giving each other gifts? What kind?)
Bastien has given her small tokens of his affection – jewellery and flowers, and Sophia regularly adds to his collection of cufflinks. They are affectionate and the gift they most often give is themselves.
H – Hugs (All things involving hugs)
Bastien has a broad chest and shoulders and Sophia feels safe whenever he holds her. Who would dare to mess with the head of the King’s Guard? He may be the one making her feel protected, but he feels like the luckiest man in the world when she hugs him.
I – Inside Jokes (Do they have any?)
These revolve around Bastien’s obsessive need for order and ritual, but he would rather have his goddess by his side spreading chaos than to be alone and tidy. She often teases him and openly defies him, but only for a short while.
J – Jealousy (Who gets jealous easier? How do they show their jealousy?)
After feeling jealous for the very first time, Bastien has learned that he has no reason to feel it again – any jealousy is all in his head as Sophia is totally devoted to him. He reacted by taking her away from her friends and threatening to drive her home, but relented when he realised how unreasonable he was being. She once had a brush with Lady Adelaide when she hinted at having been intimate with Bastien in the past. She lost her temper and had sharp words with him, but he was able to placate her. She knows he has been with many women in the past, including prostitutes, but he assures her that the moment he realised she was the one for him, he no longer had eyes for anyone else. Other men hold no attraction for her (except maybe a certain Argentinian model who bears more than a passing semblance to her lover)
K – Kiss (How do they kiss? Who usually initiates?)
On meeting, to say goodbye, to initiate lovemaking – they love to kiss – passionately, softly, greedily, always with love. They both initiate indiscriminately.
L – Love (How do they first say those three words?)
Bastien told her the Italian – Ti amo – as it sounded similar to ‘Theá mou’ which in Greek means ‘my goddess’, his nickname for her. Sophia swiftly said it back.
M – Movies (What kinds of movies do they watch together? Is it a regular Netflix ritual?)
Bastien naturally likes thrillers but he often solves any mysteries long before it becomes apparent to Sophia. She loves fantasy and romance and they both enjoy a good science fiction movie.  They rarely indulge, as any spare time together usually leads to being intimate.
N – Nicknames (Things they call each other)
‘My goddess’ or ‘theá mou’; My sea god, my dark knight – agápe mou (my love)
O – One (Tell us about the moment they realized they were with the one.)
Once they realised they had fallen for each other, there was never any doubt in either one’s mind, but when Bastien asked her to share accommodation with him, she knew they would never be apart again. Later, he let slip that he wanted them to move out of the Palace and live together long before he proposed.
P – Pizza (What is their favourite food to eat together?)
Bastien prefers Italian food to his native Cordonian or Greek food, and Sophia does too, but she also likes a good hot curry, though Bastien can stand more heat than her.
Q – Quit (Do they break up? Almost break up? What happened?)
Never…only death will do that.
R – Rainy Days (How do they comfort each other on dark days?)
Bastien draws Sophia a bath and gets in with her, bathing her and washing her hair. He cooks for her and they eat alone by candlelight. Foot massage may also be included. Bastien tends to brood when he’s feeling down, which is not often. Sophia will give him a back massage and tickle him, and things soon get steamy. Sex solves everything…
S – Soft (Something one of them did that turned the other into absolute mush)
Bastein gave her a foot massage long before he admitted his feelings for her. Her reaction aroused him and he had a difficult time concealing it from her. Being on the receiving end of that foot massage most definitely made Sophia melt.
T – Texting (Do they text each other a lot? What do they usually talk about over the phone?)
They have been known to exchange very steamy  X rated texts when apart. When Bastien is working, when his mind is not completely focussed he will text Sophia about plans for mealtimes. She is sure not to text him when he’s working unless it’s an emergency.
U – Unique (Tell us about some of their odd habits that surprised one another.)
Sophia saw first hand Bastien’s hair care routine – he uses specific products in a set order and makes sure to use a product that ensures good hair growth, as he has no knowledge as to whether male pattern baldness runs in his family. Sophia surprised him with a product aimed specifically at beard care. He was dismayed to discover she used generic shampoo and immediately researched and bought products for her hair type and colour.
V – Vanity (Something they’re proud of in themselves and their partner)
Bastien is proud of his lustrous raven black hair and loves Sophia’s contrasting sleek blonde hair.
They both love Bastien’s physique – he likes to stay in shape and she loves to gaze at the result, but if he ever softened around the middle she wouldn’t mind one bit. He loves her feminine curves.
W – Wedding (Tell us about your wedding head canon if they’ve gotten that far. Or if not, have they talked about it?)
They went back to the small island in the English Channel where Sophia grew up and took a few close friends for a registry office ceremony. They didn’t feel the need for a big affair.
X – X (Something they hate about the other)
She hates that he once slept with Adelaide (and possibly more than once, but he’s not telling) There is nothing about Sophia he hates, except for her exes who thankfully didn’t know what a treasure they had. Their loss, his gain…
Y – Youtube (What are they like online? Do they post about their relationship constantly?)
Bastien only posts professionally – before he left Cordonia and set up his own security consultancy, he had almost zero presence. Sophia respected that he needed to stay incognito, so when he left she was pleased to be able to post a few discrete photos on social media for her friends to see, but set her privacy accordingly. She was bombarded with envious messages once she showed him off.
Z – Zoo (Are they into animals? Do they want pets? What kind?)
Bastien had a working dog once who was trained to sniff out explosives, but he it was strictly a work arrangement. Sophia is more into cats, but respects that Bastien doesn’t like pet hair in his living space. Perhaps when they have children he may relent.

“You wanna run that by me again?” Dean's voice was muffled over the phone, like he was talking at it on speaker from a few feet away.
The last few hours after Jack woke up had been a whirlwind.
It had taken two of those hours for Castiel to remember he promised to call Dean’s younger brother Sam and another hour yet for him to steel himself to call Dean.
Jack’s ever-present cough was still there, (his lungs showing their displeasure at being filled with something besides air) but besides that…
He seemed... okay.
Castiel held the word shakily at the back of his throat not letting himself even think it too loudly. He wouldn’t even say it except in the form of a question.
The boy still seemed fairly exhausted by the entire ordeal but there wasn’t the same scary distant look in his eyes that felt like he was slipping somewhere far away.
And wonders of all wonders he’d actually eaten most of the sandwich the nurse brought him at mealtime. Castiel could just see Jack picking at the last of the crust when he glanced over his shoulder.
“The doctor is planning to keep Jack at Lawrence Memorial for a while longer, I just thought you should know…”
“No no, the other bit… The part where you said, ‘Jack’s doing alright so they’re waiting to transfer him,’ what does that mean?”
Castiel bit back his defensive instinct.
-
“Do you even care?”
-
“It means he’s feeling a little better today, so Doctor Hannah felt safe waiting to transfer him.”
Dean made a nonplussed noise on the other end of the line, “I mean, it’s just…” he fell quiet for a moment, “last night you made it sound like he was dying or something…”
Castiel opened his mouth to protest and then closed it face heated, he’d been panicked but he hadn’t been that extreme, “Well I’m sorry for disrupting your sleep Dean,” Castiel said a little more terse than he intended.
“Seriously?” Dean sounded annoyed.
-
Perhaps that was a little too rude.
-
Castiel quickly continued before Dean could really get pissed. “Look… I really don’t know anything yet other than Jack hasn’t gotten any worse, and he’s eating today.”
“...And that’s good right?” Dean said slowly.
-
‘Possibly...’
‘Probably…”
-
“They’ll know more when more tests get back this afternoon…” Castiel said cagily.
Dean grunted, “Makes sense, did you need something else? I mean… what did you call to see…”
“I just thought you should know,” Castiel said quickly.
Dean gave a soft huff of a laugh, “yeah no that’s uh… that’s good…” he was quiet for a moment voice sounding a little unsure when he spoke again, “Just… let me know if the kid’s okay… I guess?”
Castiel hesitated trying to sort through his own haze of emotions. The wall of defensiveness and frustration that he had built up starting to crack. Some small unfair part of him a little disappointed not to have a righteous external threat to be irritated with and hide his anxiety (which had been mounting for days) behind.
He couldn’t read Dean, the man seemed to yoyo between aloof stranger, antagonistic asshole and concerned family member at least three times in any given conversation and Castiel was too tired to sort through his own thoughts much less Dean’s.
“Cas?” Jack’s voice was a welcome distraction away from the increasingly awkward conversation.
“I have to go now Dean…” Castiel said quickly.
“What?”
“I will let you know how things go, sorry for bothering you…” he quickly hung up.
Jack tilted his head watching sheepishly as his uncle swiftly tucked away his phone in his trench coat pocket.
“Y-you didn’t have to hang up…” Jack coughed into the back of his hand.
“We were done talking,” Castiel said simply quickly waving the conversation away and turning his attention back to Jack, “What do you need?”
Jack blinked at him for a moment looking unconvinced before asking slowly, “I just… Is there anymore water?”
'water, yes, he could get water…
Castiel fumbled to pick up the small hospital pitcher from the dresser beside Jack's bed and found it empty, "I'll just… find an orderly…"
Castiel smiled shakily at Jack and got a small concerned smile back.
"Was Dean being an as-” Jack trailed off the second “s” catching himself before swearing in front of his uncle, “-butt again? Do you want to tell me about it ?"
Castiel's mouth twitched a little into a more honest smile, it was the same phrase he'd repeated a hundred times, whenever Jack got upset.
-
'you should be asking him that… '
-
"I'm alright…" Castiel patted Jack’s hand a little awkwardly. "You just focus on feeling better…"
-
' whatever that meant… '
-
Castiel tapped the top of the water pitcher and headed for the door before the anxiety of the thought could melt the smile off his face.
"I am Cas…" Jack piped up, giving the most reassuring smile he could with his eyebrows still furrowed in concern.
"I am feeling much better than yesterday…"
The doctors were weaning Jack off the pain and nausea drugs as his symptoms seemed to mysteriously fade. But for every piece of good news Cas' uneasiness didn't waver. Perhaps it was his just his own paranoia but…
-
'they still didn't know what had happened… '
-
Castiel gave the best smile he could muster on short notice, “I know Jack… and I’m glad I just… want you to take things slow.”
Every time he looked at Jack’s face his eyes were drawn to the purple bruise decorating it from cheek to temple.
-
‘He saw Jack convulsing on the floor…’
-
Castiel blinked away the image, muttered, “I...I’ll be right back...water…” and ducked quickly out of the room.
He breathed a shaky sigh still so in his head he almost ran into the wall that was Sam Winchester.
Castiel jumped back glad the water picture was empty or else he would have dumped half of it over himself and the younger Winchester.
“Sorry,” Sam gave an awkward smile, taking in Cas’s shaken demeanor, “is… everything okay?” Sam paused and said carefully, “Is Jack okay?”
Castiel took a moment to answer running a hand over his face, “No… he’s… Jack’s fine… I’m fine… we’re all…”  Cas sighed, “fine…”
“Do you… need a moment? To take a break… grab some food?” Sam said hesitantly like he was trying to calm a small feral animal.
-
‘Food… it sounded good…”
-
Castiel had been living off vending machine coffee and little packets of peanut butter crackers for the last twenty-four hours…
“I just… I promised to bring Jack some more water so…”
Sam nodded looking pensive.
Castiel knew by now the man meant well but his track record for being present in times of trouble wasn’t exactly stellar, and the idea of continuing to rely on Sam, of owing him and letting him become a familiar presence in their life felt like taking advantage of temporary guilt.
-
‘And he didn’t want Jack to trust this man again only to be let down...again…’
-
“I could bring him the water and sit with him for a bit if you want?” Sam said carefully.
Castiel held the pitcher a little closer to his chest incredulous, but was hesitant to directly reject the offer.
“Look um... “ Sam dug around in his jeans pocket for his wallet and for one wild affronted moment Castiel thought he was planning on offering him money.
“What are you…?”
Sam held up his hands placatingly and revealed what he’d actually been searching for, a hotel keycard.
“Look… I heard you had to check out of your old hotel room yesterday and you’ve been here with Jack for the last two days… If you wanted to…I don’t know shower, change clothes…” Sam said carefully.
Castiel fell silent, the mild burn of shame rising in his face, he knew he probably looked like a mess with his rumpled clothes and slightly wild hair.
-
‘He’d promised himself a long time ago that he wasn’t ever going to ask the Winchester’s for help, that he was never going to seek out the company of people who for years couldn’t be bothered to so much as call. ’
-
“Samuel… I can’t possibly…”
Sam cut in, “Really it wouldn’t… it’s not any problem I brought my own stuff so the bathroom is still stocked with soap and those little shampoos and you said… you said Jack’s doing okay right now, maybe it’s a good time to…” Sam sighed fidgeting with the card in his hands and finally just holding it out looking just as unsure as Castiel.
Castiel didn’t want to leave Jack behind, he felt like if he looked away for a second the other shoe would drop and he would regret it. He also knew how ridiculous that was, knew he couldn’t just live out of Jack’s hospital room until some yet unknown release date.
-
‘His scalp was starting to itch. ’
-
And the look on Sam’s face… Owing the man, was the last thing he wanted, but he knew that look…
Sam looked desperate. Desperate to do something, to help in some way. Castiel didn’t know how much of that was out of real concern for Jack and how much of it was guilt.
-
‘Somehow he doubted even Sam himself could answer that question.’  
-
But he knew how it felt to not be able to do anything, part of him argued he’d be doing Sam the favor by giving him something helpful to do.
Jack said he felt okay, tried to reassure his uncle that things would be okay. Part of Cas was afraid that all his fear and anxious mollycoddling was what was hurting Jack the most in this moment...
-
‘Even without the probable pneumonia, Jack didn’t have a moment to breathe without worrying about or feeding off of his uncle’s emotions.’
-
Castiel let out a soft resigned sigh.
“Thank you… Sam.”
-
‘Please don’t hurt Jack again…’
-
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
Cas stopped back by Jack’s room to drop off the promised water and let him know about a hundred times that he’d try to be back within the hour. He made Sam promise to call if anything went wrong.
And he did mean anything , by the end of his speech Jack felt like if he looked at Sam the wrong way Castiel would come running.
But eventually Castiel did leave, and Jack and Sam were left to sit awkwardly in the hospital room Jack slowly sipping at his water in a foam cup and eyeing Sam sheepishly.
Jack felt his face burn remembering practically breaking into tears when Castiel left the day before.
He felt… foolish.
When Jack woke up this… early afternoon, he'd still been bone-tired and congested in his chest like he had a bad cold. But unlike the day before his head was clear and didn't hurt and the horrible pain that had taken over his core was back to being dull and far away.
And he'd been hungry. He hadn't had an appetite for days...
Even the doctor had looked a little confused when he'd asked sheepishly if it was too late for breakfast.
He'd been relieved at first but now? Now he was just… embarrassed.
Had he overreacted the day before? Had all his crying and fear misled the doctors and Cas?
No that couldn't be it, he remembered the stabbing pain in his stomach remembered doctor Hannah waking him up in the middle of the night for more tests the terrifying grimness with which she delivered her news.
-
‘The fear in his uncle's eyes.’
-
But everything he felt the day before was blurred and hazy, like a bad nightmare. Like a hit and run where the only marks left behind were the bruises on his face and the worry lines on his uncle's.
'And the bone… no soul-deep tiredness…'
Jack didn’t want to think about it.
He wanted to distance himself as far as possible from the tears and terrifying feeling of the night before…
-
"You don't know what's wrong with me?"
-
Jack swallowed the lump in his throat.
-
‘Maybe it’s over now…’
-
He was nearly grown, he wasn't going to fall apart in front of Sam again. If he was going to be fine there was no reason for him to be childish, internally begging for his uncle and outwardly crying, not again.
He didn’t want Sam to think about him that way, like a little kid he felt sorry for.
-
‘In the end no one really wanted kids around.’
-
He had practically clung to Sam the day before when the doctor came for the LP.
It was so embarrassing just thinking about it made Jack want to cry again so he blinked hard and tried to find a course of action that wasn’t making a fool of himself.
Sitting in a hospital got boring very quickly when you weren’t in a drug and pain haze.
Jack cleared his throat sitting up as straight as he could in bed, “H-hey Sam?”
“Hmm?” Sam looked up pensive from his ever-present work laptop, "Do you need something? More water?"
Jack felt his determination to act as adult as possible waver as soon as the older man's attention was directed at him. He mouthed wordlessly for a moment before gathering the nerve to continue.
"No… thank you," he said sheepishly, "it's uh… I was just wondering if I could have my phone back?"
Sam blinked like a deer in the headlights, "Your...phone?"
Jack quickly cut in, "Yeah, I think it's still in one of Cas's jacket's pockets?"
-
'Cas had left the coat hanging over the back of his chair to stand vigil while he was gone. '
-
Sam glanced between the coat and Jack unsure.
"Aren't you grounded?"
Jack opened his mouth to speak paused to cough then cleared his throat and did his best to sound authoritative.
"I was, but only until Monday… this Monday… which it now is, so…"
Jack conveniently left out the fact he knew he'd probably be grounded for the next month for admitting to the whole… weed thing.
Sam still looked unconvinced.
"Please," Jack couldn't keep the desperation out of his voice, "I just… I’ve been here all weekend, and… and…"
-
'I hate it here, I want to go home…'
-
"... I haven't been at school, exams are coming up I… I need to talk to someone about notes and… and homework and stuff?"
Sam began to teeter.
-
'I just want to talk to someone, anyone not here, to know things are okay out there… to know I'll be okay…'
-
"Please S-sam," Jack's voice broke around a fit of coughing that was enough to make his eyes water.
"None of my friends now I'm here,” Jack choked breathily regaining his air, "I… they’re probably worried…"
-
'if they even care…'
-
"I just… want them to know I'm okay…" he finished lamely looking down and picking at the tape of his IV line.
He heard Sam sigh and the slight squeak of one of his chair being pulled across the floor.
"Alright… alright… but if you're ur uncle gets mad at me I'm telling him you tricked me…”
Jack looked up to see Sam had pulled the chair with the jacket within reach and was patting down the pockets for his phone.
He felt a wave of relief when he saw the familiar black and a yellow of his Star Wars phone case.
"Th-thank you…" Jack said quickly bashful taking the phone from Sam, praying it was still charged when he pressed the power button.
Thankfully it was still at seventy-five percent and Jack felt a second wave of relief seeing there were seven missed texts.
-
'way to be needy Jack…'
-
The first one was from Maggie, a simple…
M: 'Hey Jack you weren't at school today, is everything okay?'
The rest… were from Clarke.
C: 'Dude…'
C: 'Hey… d U d E'
C: 'where you @ Maggie is freaking out thinking you got suspended 'cause you weren't in first period.'
C: 'Wait did you get suspended for that BS in Mr. Shirley's class?'
C: 'Dude there was a sub in your dad-uncle's class during third? The hell is going on???'
C: 'did you get expelled? cause I'll fight mr. Shit-ly if you did…'
Jack rolled his eyes but his mouth twitched in a warm smile.
Clark was usually aloof and more interested in goofing off than actually accomplishing… literally anything. But he was always down to clown when someone actually needed something. Especially when it involved “sticking it to the man…”
“Your mom’s the Sheriff doesn’t that make her ‘the man’?” Jack pointed out one day.
“Shut up it’s not that deep…”
Jack bit his lip, not sure where to even start explaining the mess of the last few days.
J: ‘Hey.’ Jack texted sheepishly.
For a long moment, there was no response, then there were about five pings in rapid succession.
C: 'Wtf!'
C: 'Dude we thought you'd died or something?'
C: 'Is your uncle still bogarting your phone or something?'
C: 'did you really get expelled?"
C: 'wherr are you?'
Jack paused again.
J:'Kansas? What’s bogarting?'
Clark seemed even more confused.
C: 'Kansas?'
C: 'Oh right! The thing with your weird cousins or something right? You guys are still there? Did your car uncle’s car break down or something?'
Jack hesitated. There was the question.
J: 'Half brothers not cousins and no…’
J: ‘I'm in the hospital.'
There was a good five minutes where the 'Clark is typing' dots danced across the bottom of the screen.
C: 'Wtf not funny man…’
Jack sighed.
J: ‘I'm being serious.'
More furious typing ensued...
C: 'What the hell? Did you guys get in a wreck or something?’
J: ‘I just said the car’s fine I…’
Jack started typing trying to explain but his injured arm was beginning to ache. He looked around nervously and seeing Sam was sufficiently distracted by his laptop he lifted his phone up and (between deep purple bruise, dark circles and decorative nasal cannula) took probably one of the second or third worst selfies he'd ever taken.
C: 'Dude wtf, your face!'
Jack gingerly flexed the fingers on his injured side.
J: 'I know…'
C: 'You look like you tried to kool-aid man through a brick wall.'
Jack was mildly offended, he didn't think he looked as bad as all that...
J: 'I know…' he typed a little begrudgingly.
C: 'The hell? Did you get in a fight or something? Wait wait did one of your brothers do that?'
Jack quickly refuted that
J: 'No! I just… lost a fight with a sink…'
Clark replied with about a dozen question marks.
C: '????? Tf does that mean? What's with the twenty questions man, your freaking me out. Did something happen? Cause I know you’re like terminally clumsy sometimes but that’s a lot.'
Jack fiddled with his pulse-ox for a moment, considering, he didn't need any more pity, he wished people would realize it just freaked him out when they treated him like a dead man walking.
Then again that really wasn't Clark...
J: 'I passed out on Saturday night, and apparently had a seizure, and I was pretty sick, so… Now I'm stuck here.'
Clark replied almost immediately
C: 'Did you piss yourself?'
There was the Clark Jack knew.
J: '???'
Clark sent a shrugging emoji.
C: ‘What? My mom watches a lot of Grey’s Anatomy. I heard it can happen.’
Jack rolled his eyes,
J: 'I don't remember and I'm definitely not gonna ask.'
Jack blushed a little.
C: 'I got it sorry for asking'
C: 'what was wrong though? You okay?'
Jack felt his chest tighten and coughed, trying to clear the anxiousness built up there.
C: 'Dude? You still, there? You can’t suddenly stop talking after dropping that bombshell you're freaking my out man…'
Jack shook himself.
J: 'They're still doing tests, I've been poked like 16 times, they even stuck a needle in my back because they wanted to make sure I don't have meningitis… Which I don’t btw.'
Clark showed the utmost sympathy.
C: 'RIP Jack.'
C: 'You are okay though right?'
'I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.'
J: 'I'm feeling a lot better today at least...'
It was the truth, but every fiber of his body was calling him a liar, reminding him he knew nothing.
C: 'Any idea when they'll let you out?'
'Not a clue…'

and when luke is away on tour or other stuff she’s definitely your partner in crime😎 and she fills luke’s space in bed at night and at naps,be around you at every mealtime and curl up next to you when you miss luke or when you’re watching a sad movie etc 💛
and one day luke on tour said to you “i miss my girls” :( and you are out taking petunia on a walk and take a selfie with her (she’s smiling with her tongue out) with the park behind and send it to luke and he put it as his lockscreen on his phone so in that interview when they asked luke about his lockscreen he told the story behind 💖
and when luke is at home,you take her to the park,play with her throwing balls or sticks and there’s always tummy time during the day 🐶

That modern Dorian post reminded me I actually did have a modern AU started. It’s never getting finished, but I think it could have gone in a cute direction.
Features: Cullen/Dorian, Dorian & Adaar friendship/snark, the Inquisition as an academic library, a dog I made Patho name because she wanted the story (sorry Patho)
Dorian was pondering how best to rearrange his wine glasses (by likelihood of use? height? a pleasing eclectic mix of both?) when he heard a somewhat frantic knock on his door. He opened it to find his neighbor from across the hall, holding a set of keys and a leash with a very large Mabari at the end of it. Dorian had seen the blond man and the dog out and about, but had never exchanged more than a polite greeting.
“Can I help you?” Dorian wasn’t sure exactly was going on here yet, but from their limited interaction, he didn’t seem like a serial killer. (It certainly didn’t hurt that he was extremely good-looking.)
“I was rather hoping you could.” His neighbor put his hand to the back of his neck, a ridiculous nervous affectation that Dorian found charming, even though he was sure he wasn’t supposed to. “I’m being called away on rather urgent business for work, and I don’t have anybody to look after my apartment or feed my dog.” Here he looked awkward and sheepish, like he couldn’t believe he’d found himself in a situation this ridiculous. “I’m new to the area, and anybody else I would trust to do so is also going to be traveling with me. I understand it’s a great deal to ask from a virtual stranger, but--”
“I’d be happy to. I'm Dorian, by the way.” Dorian smiled, and his neighbor nearly collapsed in relief.
"Dorian, you are a lifesaver. Feed Henry two cans of wet food along with two scoops of dry food twice a day. Make sure he has water at all times. He likes to walk twice a day before mealtimes, but any time you can get him out is fine.” His phone pinged and he handed over the keys and leash to Dorian. “Shit, that’s my cab. I owe you so much for this. Name your favor, and when I get back I swear it will be done.”
“But I don’t even know your name!” Dorian called to the retreating figure running down the hall.
“Cullen! Cullen Rutherford!” He--Cullen--shouted back. Henry whined quietly, looking the direction his master headed. Dorian let Henry sniff his hand and the dog licked it, politely if not affectionately. Dorian tugged on the leash, still a little unsure of how exactly he’d gotten himself into this situation.
“Come on Henry, let’s go for a walk.”
--
A couple days later, there was a knock on his door, and a courier handed him a slim envelope. It was addressed to “Dorian in Apt 302”, and he wondered once again at the ridiculous circumstances of his life. Opening it, he found a note and some money.
I just realized that I was low on dry food. If I could trouble you to pick some up I would be so grateful. There’s a pet store down the road that sells the special food Henry eats. Here’s my number if you need anything.
Continuing to be in your debt,
Cullen
Sticking the money and note into his pocket, he went to work. He was in the middle of trying to figure out how best to catalog an overblown address to the Magisterium when Adaar sidled up to him. She had a first name, but nobody besides the payroll person actually knew what it was. They’d collaborated on the Koslun project, which was of mutual interest to both of their areas of expertise, and he’d found her to be sharp and thoughtful, as well as one of the few people who had deigned to talk to the Vint about non-work matters when he’d first arrived.
“Sera tells me you got a note from your neighbor.”
“And where did Sera hear that?” Dorian asked as he slipped the transcript back into its protective case. Sera was a tech who somehow managed to have eyes and ears in the most mysterious places.
“Probably from Josie.” Josie was one of the directors, who made it a point to stop and chat with everybody. She cooed over the pictures Dorian took of Henry and seemed thrilled to to hear all about the strange and somehow delightful ridiculousness going on with his neighbor. Adaar smiled, her eyes glinting with mischief. “Are you going to text him?”
“I admit the thought hadn’t occurred to me.” Dorian lied.
“You are so full of shit sometimes, Pavus. I bet you had to stop yourself from tapping one out as soon as you got that note.” It was still strange to him, this staying in one place long enough for people to see through his calculated feints and attempts to keep safe distances. It wasn’t as terrible as he thought.
“You’re wrong. I waited until I got on the bus.” It wasn’t quite a concession, but as much as he’d give. Adaar’s expression softened, something that still looked odd to him for a split second before his thinking brain kicked in. Qunari were painted as fanatical, fearsome beasts in Tevinter, and he’s spent enough time outside the Imperium that he knew a great deal of what he was told growing up is bullshit, but there was only so much one could do with initial conditioning.
“From what you say, he sounds sweet. I think you should do it.” She punched him on the shoulder gently. “You of all people deserve a chance to be happy.”
“But only if I text you about what happens first?”
She laughed, the gilding on her horns catching the light as she shook. “I’m glad we understand each other.”
--
He took a selfie with Henry and sent it to the number in the note. We’re getting along great! he tapped out. It was an acceptably neutral message, he hoped. He got a reply back almost immediately.
I'm glad to see that. Has he been behaving? We're not usually apart and I worry about him.
He's fine, helicopter dad. Dorian sent. He hesitated before tapping out Are *you* doing all right without him? There was a pause, longer than he thought should have been necessary to reply. Before Dorian could apologize, Cullen responded.
You’re very perceptive. Although given how much I fuss over Henry, it must seem obvious. Dorian chuckled. The phone pinged again.
Which is to say, my obviousness does not negate your perception. Just in case that wasn’t clear. Andraste’s knicker weasels, he shouldn’t have found it anywhere near as charming as he did.
So tell me about your day. He texted. Dorian got a steady string of observations about the Orlesian countryside, mostly long-suffering but wry enough to be amusing. Cullen talked a little about the work he did with the Inquisition: scouting, evaluating locations for a more permanent base of operations. Apparently it was looking to expand its presence in the more remote, underserved areas of Orlais, where its presence would be most welcomed.
And will you be staying away long? Henry will miss you.
Gods, no. Dorian heard back almost immediately. I'm too old for extended time in the field. I miss my bed already. Dorian, already in his, curled up tighter in his blanket in sympathy.
They chatted back and forth for longer than Dorian realized, until he found his eyes growing heavy and his vision blurring. He stifled a yawn.
I have to go to sleep now, or Cassandra will kill me. Dorian’s heart dropped for a moment, before another message popped up. She is a terribly fussy roommate, and always has been.
She sounds formidable. I would not wish to incur her wrath.
The next reply was a single word: Hah. It was then followed by You have no idea. Sleep well.
Pleasant dreams, if I may be so bold. For a moment, Dorian wondered if it was too much. It wasn’t as if they actually knew each other, although they were certainly more familiar than they were two days ago. One last message popped up on his screen. You may. Good night. :) How quaint; he still made his emoticons on the keyboard.
The next thing he knew, his phone was buzzing in his hand, the alarm demanding his wakefulness. He’d been holding it all night.
--
Upon reflection, Dorian realized it should have been obvious that bringing Henry to meet his cat was not perhaps the wisest idea. Henry was perfectly all right with the idea of sharing space, however temporarily, with another animal, but Livia was of the exact opposite disposition. She growled at them both and fled to the bedroom, where Dorian would have to no doubt spend a great deal of time coaxing her out from under the bed with dried fish flakes and apologies. But that was for later.
He unlocked the door to Cullen’s apartment and let Henry back into familiar surroundings, which he was pleased by, judging by the way he ran around and sniffed contentedly. He fed Henry the specified amount of food and marveled at how dainty a giant dog could be in eating. As he ate, Dorian looked around. The place was sparse, like its occupant was used to living with only essentials, thus making the personal items scattered about much more significant. There were some books, mostly Genitivi’s travelogues and popular nonfiction pertaining to the Chantry, but also a surprising number of mass-market fiction books by Tethras. Dorian noticed there were photographs: a family portrait, two boys, two girls, and parents; the eldest girl and Cullen in front of a chessboard; a picture of a young, serious Cullen in a Templar uniform, posing in front of a large stone tower. It was the most recent picture, and Dorian guessed it was at least ten years old.
--
Adaar came up to him silently; a not insignificant feat for someone of her size, and just waited until Dorian noticed her. He continued sorting some of the twenty linear feet of archives some windbag magister willed to the university without looking at her.
“We’ve been texting. It hasn’t gone beyond that.” He’d get sporadic updates during the day: a snapshot of a silly Orlesian dog (accompanied by commentary on the difference between them and Ferelden canines), a fancy dessert he grudgingly approved of, and once, a picture of a stern, fearsome-looking woman he assumed was Cassandra, fast asleep.
He did not need to look at her to register the disappointment emanating from her direction. It wasn’t like he could do anything while Cullen was away on business. Well, to be precise, there was video chat, but Dorian had a very strong feeling this was not the way to Cullen’s heart, or his pants. His lack of emoji use notwithstanding, there was something charmingly old-fashioned about him.

Paris Vignettes
I found it pretty hard to write about our time in Paris because the city is so present in the American collective imagination. Paris means romance and sophistication. Everyone already knows about the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, and the Louvre. What can I say about the place that hasn’t already been said? Not much, which is why I’ve chosen to write more about the little moments than the big monuments. These are the small things that happened on our Paris trip that will likely never be advertised in a travel brochure.
Tumblr media
We left home on a sunny Saturday afternoon. As we rode the bus through the town to the train station, I realized it had been ages since I had seen the town in full sunlight like this. I couldn’t stop staring out the window. Even though our town is not what I’d call picturesque, it looked so beautiful with people walking around outside and every factory and apartment building illuminated.
We waited on a bench about an hour at the station for the train to arrive. To pass the time, I eavesdropped on the family seated near us, and learned that they were from the Paris area and were returning home from a ski vacation. The little girl in the family, maybe three or four years old, had left her sunglasses in their driver’s car, and the mom was calling the driver to ask about the sunglasses. After she hung up, she told the little girl that they wouldn’t be able to get her sunglasses back before the train arrived, so they would have to go back home without them. The mom’s work acquaintance, however, was coming to this area in the following week, so she told her that the coworker could probably bring the sunglasses back with her next week. The little girl sounded disappointed. “But I don’t want to go home without my sunglasses…could we call the police and get them to bring my sunglasses?” By the time we boarded the train, I was highly invested in this little girl and the fate of her sunglasses, but since it was all happening in French, Nicolas was unaware of the drama. As soon as we were on the train and out of earshot, I told him the whole story. We laughed. We cried. We hoped that one day she and her sunglasses would be reunited.
We checked into our hostel in Paris after dark. Our room was several flights of stairs above the ground floor, so after we huffed and puffed our way there, we set our things down and checked out the view. There were some trees in a courtyard nearby that partially obscured our view, but the skyline literally glittered with thousands of tiny lights almost too far away to see. I could tell that the Eiffel Tower wasn’t in our line of sight, but I was eager to look again in the morning and see what else was visible in the daytime. It’s certainly easier to navigate in the daylight, but it’s a lot of fun to see a city for the first time in the dark and then discover it all over again the next morning.
Tumblr media
We went to both the Louvre and the Musée d’Orsay, Paris’ two most popular art museums. In terms of time period, the Musée d’Orsay picks up where the Louvre leaves off—the Louvre has art from Antiquity until the 19th century, and the Orsay covers about 60 years of art after that, including most people’s favorite Impressionists. So in terms of collections, comparing the two museums is like comparing apples and oranges. However, I really enjoyed comparing our experiences of the two museums and how the space in each building is used. -- The Louvre is a royal palace that has been repurposed to become a heavily trafficked public building and tourist destination. The oldest part of the building dates from the medieval period, and has been changed and added onto ever since; the iconic glass pyramids in the front are only 30 years old. In terms of the floor plan, it’s pretty typical for a European palace. There are two main wings where you basically travel down a straight line of progressively smaller rooms. As an art museum—and as the world’s most popular art museum—it’s kind of a nightmare.  We couldn’t find a single staircase that let us access all five floors. Several times we wanted to leave the right wing and go to the left one, or vice versa. And after studying the map, making a game plan, carrying out the plan, and checking the map again, we realized with frustration and horror that we had never left the first wing at all. After an exhausting day of wandering around through crowds of people, we were lucky to finally find the exit. Don’t get me wrong, it was really cool to see the Mona Lisa and tons of other masterpieces. It was just interesting to see how the choice of layout for the museum had very real physical and emotional implications for us and our trip. -- The Orsay, mercifully, is not an old palace—it’s an old train station. The main entrance area is therefore a giant open room with a rounded glass ceiling and a huge clock. Most of the paintings are held in rooms branching off from this central area, so it’s very easy to orient oneself and to travel to the rooms you want to see most. And this is what one would expect from a train station, where it is important for large crowds of people to be able to get from A to B without much trouble. Our day spent in the Musée d’Orsay was overall much more pleasant and comfortable than our day in the Louvre, not because we liked the art so much better (even though we did) but because the building was better suited to tourists and art.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
On one cloudy morning, the first item on the itinerary was walking around the neighborhoods on the banks and islands of the Seine. We wandered down whatever streets looked most interesting. We went to the small park on the point of one of the islands and snapped a few pictures. Later that day in the Musée d’Orsay, we saw a Pissarro painting of the almost exact same view we saw from the point of the island.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We were supposed to only spend a morning in the Musée d’Orsay, but we enjoyed it so much that we ignored our grumbling stomachs and stayed until 4pm. As I think I’ve mentioned before, the French are pretty particular about mealtimes, and lots of restaurants close between 3pm and 7pm. Paris has enough demand from tourists at odd hours that we could have easily found a restaurant open between those hours, but we were just too embarrassed to violate the culture so flagrantly. Instead, we went to a grocery store and bought some pre-made sandwiches, a box of crackers, and two yogurts.  We brought our food to the Tuileries garden and ate in a secluded corner, enjoying the unusually pleasant weather, pointing out cute dogs to each other, and daydreaming about what our lives might be like if we lived in Paris.
Europe has a lot of religious art, and we both paid attention in Bible study, so we’ve gotten pretty good at identifying our saints and Bible stories in the paintings and sculptures we see. For example, in a painting of the disciples, Peter is always going to be the one who is balding in a horseshoe pattern, with one tuft of gray hair in the middle of his forehead. John is always going to be the youthful-looking one with no beard and longish auburn hair. In Paris, we decided to make a game of looking at an artwork and guessing the Bible/Church history scene before we looked at the title. It was our own little trivia competition each time we toured an art museum or cathedral. My personal favorite story to spot is Saint Anthony of Padua preaching to the fish, and one of my favorite artworks is this stained-glass representation of the book of Revelation.
Tumblr media
One afternoon we headed to the outskirts of the city in order to go to the Musée Marmottan Monet. On our walk to the museum, we passed a horse trailer parked on the side of the road. My Kentucky brain didn’t register that that this was an odd thing to see in Paris, but Nicolas excitedly said, “Chevaux!” when he recognized the word written across the trailer. We rounded a corner, and then we found the chevaux: they were hitched to old-timey carriages parked in the middle of the street, surrounded by people in 19th century period costume. We were told by the man working security at the corner of the street that a TV series was filming there that day. We had to wait for permission to hurry into the museum between takes. 
Tumblr media
We went to the Eiffel Tower around sunset so that we could see in the daylight and lit up at night. We took a few pictures, then just spent some time looking at it quietly and trying to absorb the moment. A street musician from the US was performing nearby—we were there long enough to hear, of all things, “Santeria” by Sublime and “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show. Those were probably the last two songs I’d want to hear while trying to appreciate the Eiffel Tower, but in spite of this, and in spite of the selfie sticks and souvenir hawkers, it really was as cool—moving, inspiring, romantic—as people make it out to be.
